concept of the collision buffer Mercedes bull; Mercedes-Benz first proposed in the 1960s. It is designed to occur in the event of an impact of the vehicle body is gradually deformed to adsorb the majority (if not all) of the impact energy generated in the accident. After the design of this body to be deformed, a strong impact force received by the occupant can be greatly reduced.
The vehicle body structure into the buffer zone and the occupant safety design crumple zones, occupant safety zone should be of sufficient rigidity, a large impact does not allow deformation to ensure survival of the occupant, and the engine, transmission, etc. institutions shall not rigid passenger compartment intrusion collision. Absorbing buffer region allows greatly deformed in the vehicle collision, so as to absorb impact energy reasonable. So that the forces acting on the occupant’s body and the acceleration does not exceed the limit of human endurance.
